How to play Your Song by Elton John on Piano - Introduction (first 4 measures)

http://fastpianolessons.com
For the other part of the lesson make sure to check out the blog!
I recommend watching the performance example and then skipping ahead through the commentary to the slow performances and copying it step by step.

Table of contents:
:10 - Performance example of the 4 measure introduction
:21 - SLOW walkthrough
3:27 - SLOW performance, chord by chord. I'm saying each chord.
4:05 - Holding down all the notes in the chord at once

This is a great song to do for valentines day! *hint hint*

Its just the first four measures, but this is the epitome of elton john's style:
rolling arpeggios and chords in inversions.

@kristianlarsen95 - hi kristian, sorry I wasn't able to finish the rest of this video. I got stuck trying to figure out how to get permission from elton john, still waiting for him to call me back.

He has HEAPS of help on his website link. It's been a while, but I vividly remember being emailed BOOKS of instructions. I believe for a little, and I mean a very little amount of money, HE will HOOK YOU UP!
